Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * EM120/160 firmware update's fw can't get updated.

  [Test Plan]

   * Use a machine with EM120/160 and test fw upgrade or reinstall.

  For the rest of the SRU document, please check lp:1982103

  Note: the SRU of fwupd is following the exception in
   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates. We also need to
   upgrade libxmlb due to fwupd is its only major consumer,
   and without that, we could not have the correct fwupd function
   on this one.

  The current fwupd packages in focal have to be rebuild with the latest 1.18.6 modem manager[1] in updates channel.

  In the modem-manager plugin of fwupd, there are several version check
  macros to determine the version of modem-manager, for instance:

  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/tree/plugins/modem-
  manager/fu-mm-device.c?h=ubuntu/focal-updates#n22

      #if MM_CHECK_VERSION(1, 17, 2)
      #include "fu-firehose-updater.h"
      #endif

  If the version is equal to or newer than 1.17.2, fwupd will have
  different behaviors. And the previous version in Focal is 1.16.6 so we
  have to rebuild or do a version bump to make sure it compile with the
  new modem manager.
